Hair thinning and loss can affect your confidence and quality of life, but effective, non-surgical solutions are available. At Helendale Dermatology, we offer Hair Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, an innovative treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing power to stimulate hair growth. Whether you’re in the early stages of thinning or looking to maintain healthy hair density, PRP offers a safe, proven option for both men and women seeking noticeable, lasting results.

How PRP for Hair Growth Works

PRP therapy begins with a small blood draw (30–60cc), which is then spun in a specialized system to isolate the platelet-rich plasma—a concentration full of growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. This PRP is then carefully injected into the scalp, targeting areas affected by thinning or hair loss. Appointments typically take about an hour to an hour and a half and are spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with three sessions recommended for optimal results and maintenance sessions every 6 months thereafter.

What to Expect During Hair PRP Treatment

  • Minimized Discomfort: We use both a Pronox machine (light nitrous oxide) and a Zimmer machine (cold air chiller) to reduce discomfort and make your experience more comfortable.
  • Quick Recovery: There is no downtime—patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
  • Preparation & Aftercare: Avoid alcohol and ibuprofen 24 hours before and after the procedure, and avoid cold exposure to the scalp post-treatment. Tylenol can be used for any discomfort.
  • Home Care: Using a topical or oral medication as part of your home routine helps maintain and extend the results.
  • Maintenance: After your initial series, treatments every 6 months help preserve hair density and stimulate ongoing growth.

Supershot: Enhanced Results for Longer-Lasting Growth

For patients looking to take their results to the next level, we now offer PRP with Supershot. This new technology combines the normally discarded poor platelet plasma (PPP) with additional processing to extract naturally occurring exosomes. These powerful cellular messengers help reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and encourage faster hair follicle regeneration. Most patients continue with the standard 3-treatment protocol, but many find they can stretch their maintenance visits to every 9–12 months thanks to the enhanced performance of the Supershot. Home care is still encouraged to support long-term success.
